SID E REFLECTOR.

PEOIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 481,055, dated August 16, 1892.

Application filed June 17, 1891. Serial No. 396,552. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that 1, CHARLES E. PLUMTBEE, of Spokane Falls, in the county of Spokane and State of WVashington, have invented a newandImprovedReflector-Support,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved reflector-support which is simple and durable in construction, can be readily applied to any lamp, and is arranged in such a manner that the reflector can be moved to any position to throw the light in any desired direction.

I 5 The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be hereinafter fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying 2o drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same with parts in section. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the same, and Fig. at is a side elevation of a reflector-arm.

The improved reflector-support is provided with a collar A, adapted to be secured by a set-screw B to the burner or other part of the lamp. The collar A is formed in its periphery with an annular groove A, engaged by a ring 0, fitted loosely in the said groove, so as to permit of turning the said ring on the said collar when the latter is fixed. In order to operate the screw B, the ring 0 is provided with a transverse aperture 0, through which the point of a screw-driver may be passed to turn the screw when the 0 aperture is brought into proper position, as

shown in Fig. 2.

From the ring 0 projects a socket D, arranged horizontally and adapted to receive a bar E, fastened in the said socket by a suitable set-screw F.

On the outer end of the bar E is secured a horizontally-extending grooved segmental bar G, adapted to receive the ordinary tin reflector H. (Shown in dotted lines in Fig.

1.) The said ordinary reflector H is provided with the usual opening near its upper end for the passage of the chimney of the lamp, as shown in Fig. 1. On the bar E, next to the segmental bar G, is arranged a vertical opening adapted to be engaged by the forked end I of an arm I, fastened in place on the said bar E by means of a setscrew J. The upper end of the arm I isadapted to receive the socket K of the reflector K, as is plainly shown in full lines in Fig. 1. By loosening the set-screwJ the arm I may be raised or lowered, so as to bring the reflector K in the proper position rela tive to the light of the lamp. By loosening the set-screw F the barE may be movedin 01' out, so as to move the reflector K closer to or farther from the chimney to produce the best results in reflect-ing the light. When the desired positions are reached, the respective set-screws J and F are fastened in place.

It will be seen that when the reflector K or H is supported on the bar E in the manner described, the said reflector, with its bar and socket D and ring C,can be conveniently turned or revolved in the groove A of the fixed collar A, so that the light is thrown in any desired direction.

Having thus fully described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A support of the character described,

comprising an eXteriorly-grooved collar provided with a set-screw extending through it at the base of the groove, and the ring turning in the said groove, provided with a transverse aperture to give access to said screw and with a socket or holder to receive a reflector-support, substantially as set forth.

2. In a reflector-support, the combination, with a collar adapted to be secnredto a lamp and formed with an annular groove in its periphery, of a ring fitted in the said groove to revolve on the said collar, a socket formed on the said ring, a bar adapted to be secured in the said socket, and a grooved segmental 5 bar secured on the said socket-bar, substantially as shown and described.

3. A reflector-support comprising a socketed ring, a bar adjustable in said socket and provided at its outer end with a trans- 10o verse bar grooved along its upper face, a vertical transverse aperture at the juncture of said two bars, and a set-screw intersecting said aperture, substantially as set forth.

CHARLES E. PLUMTREE.
